Modern cars are a privacy nightmare.

It's worse than you realize. In this video we dive into all the types of data your car is collecting about you: from video recordings, microphone recordings, location data, biometrics, all the way to files/contacts/photos ingested from your phone!

This is a huge problem

This is the first video in a series we're doing on car privacy. Later in the series we examine:

how easy it is to hack modern cars
trackers in cars that you had no idea existed
the perverse incentives that drive companies to collect as much data about us as possible
the history of when this all started
dangers of used cars: the previous owner of your car might still have access to all your car’s remote features, tracking tools, and cameras!
how to wipe your own information and location history from your car before you sell it
how to opt out of this collection and better protect yourself
We really need to get a conversation going around car privacy, and increase awareness. It’s so important we push back against the normalization of these practices, starting now.
